Diogo Dalot has made a swift return to Manchester United’s Carrington training complex after sustaining an injury at the World Cup. The Manchester Evening News understands Dalot reported at Carrington on Friday morning only six days on from Portugal’s quarter-final elimination by Morocco. Dalot was forced off with an apparent hamstring injury in the 79th minute and he is due to be assessed by United’s medical staff today as part of his recovery. The 23-year-old had gone more than two years without injury prior to his removal at the Al Thumama Stadium and he has started 20 of United’s 21 games so far this season.
It was disappointment for the Portuguese in Qatar as they suffered a shock quarter-final defeat to Morocco, with added frustration for Dalot who was taken off in that match with a suspected hamstring injury. How serious the injury is has not yet been revealed, but manager Erik ten Hag will hope Dalot will not be out for long as he has been an important figure in his team so far this season.
The report claims that Portuguese defender Dalot returned to training just six days after his country were eliminated from the tournament. Most players were expected to return to training on Monday, with Dalot arriving at Carrington three days early. With Dalot’s contract expiring at the end of the season, his decision will undoubtedly have gone down well at Manchester United and he could be hoping it convinces them to offer him a new deal, especially after his impressive season under Erik ten Hag.
